Product Description:
In a world where even the smallest and most remote village is being terrorized by the monsters that stalk the night, there is a hamlet, prosperous and peaceful, where mortals and vampires have lived in harmony for years. It is there that 17-year-old Sheavil Schmidt has slept, neither waking nor aging, for 30 years since very first receiving the vampire's immortal kiss. The mysterious Vampire Hunter D is lured to the tranquil oasis by recurrent dreams of the beautiful, undying girl bathed in an eerie blue light and dancing in a ghostly chateau.

Each and every story of the Vampire Hunter D novels, up to now, have been different, strange, twisted and interesting to the point where I can't let the book down. This story is even more dark, weird and wild than before. Somebody has called Vampire Hunter D to a small, peaceful village. A village that seems to have nothing wrong with it. Where everybody, Noble and mortal, seems to have lived in peace for thousands of years. There is no crime, no murders, no bad guys, no fear. But something is very, very wrong. Because it looks like reality may not be real. As D slices through the layers of reality around him, he finds more and more questions to the answers he finds.
What is going on? Who called him to the village? Can he, victory or defeat, escape from a village that may not be real?

This book was a lot harder to digest then the others, i finished it and it was OK at best. book 6 and 7 are much better so if you agree with me don't give up on the series just because of this title.
Also I realize my star rating may be a bit harsh but it just wasn't a well made tale.

This book has a very interesting twist at the end. Think of it like Alice in Wonderland. Yet again, I love the book.

An interesting twist to the saga of the dhampir, D. In this story we find D unable to get a good night's (or is day's?) rest. Not because he is hounded by demons and bounty hunters, his nights are restless because everytime he closes his eyes he experiances the same dream over and over again. And when he arrives in a village that has been at peace with vampires since who knows when, things get even more strange when he meets the girl in his dreams...asleep for the past 30 years from a vampire's "kiss."
As with the other D novels, we are plagued constantly about how beautiful the dhampir is, which gets old after the 2nd or 3rd novel. But unlike the previous 4 novels, D is placed in a situation unlike anything he has faced before. No matter how much he tries, someone or something will not let him leave the village. To say more will ruin the excellent story.
An excellent read. Recommended age of reader, 13. No sex, mild language, some horror violence, but nothing a teenager couldn't handle.

Were D not a dhampir, it would be very easy to describe this volume as more ghost story than vampire novel. Even though the story is precipitated by a vampire's kiss (from our mysterious HIM, presumably D's father), the main thrust of the story is from the reality vs. perception conflict more common the the ghost-story genre.
I greatly admire the atmosphere of this particular novel and feel that it would become a beautiful film, as it has a great deal of nuance and symbolism. (In this way it far outshines the almost frantic fourth novel)
Sybille (the girl the sleep bringer loved) is yet another victim of His dream for the future, a dream which she shared and in which she became entrapped. This meta-conflict has been brewing for several books (popping up in the second and fourth books as well) and unlike the fourth book we see it here as something perhaps more beautiful than sinister.
